  • Innovate and be liberated

    Jun 7th, 2026

    Innovation.

    The most beneficial innovation…

    Innovation is the introduction of something new, such as a new idea, product, or method, often to solve a problem or improve an existing one..

    Our ever new spiritual consciousness can be accessed. However, it is currently covered by the material energies, which are imposed on our spiritual consciousness,  these influences of matter are the effects of endless karmic synchronicities .The revival of our original intended potential is enacted by coming in touch somehow  with the ever new spiritual rasa that forever permeates the higher planes of existence . In current times, the Maha mantra has been enthused by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His immediate associates with the full trancendental potency of the spiritual realm . This means Krishna is fully present within the trancendental sound of the Holy names of Divinity,  not only the Maha mantra , when they are correctly chanted with the spirit of devotion,  this is done under the directions of the acaryas in all their forms . Spiritual varigatedness is fully described in the Srimad Bhagavatam as are the activities and pastimes of Radha Krishna. On analysis, currently, we have four main problems , birth , death , old age, and disease . Other difficulties are calculated as the miseries of the mind , miseries of other living beings, and miseries of nature , i.e., too hot , too cold , floods , etc etc .
    If we truly want to be innovative , let’s not do it the Elon Musk way and become like sophisticated animals , who may  shoot themselves into space but then  forced to return  to this world and all of its  imposed constraints. Rather, the Vedas recommends  spiritual innovation,  an easy journey to other planets . This is achieved by a deep inward and somewhat  innovative esoteric, carefully planned journey , the journey of spiritual elevation that leaves the material world behind for good its guaranteed to work . Once undertaken and mastered, it will bring  freedoms from the limited shackles of the material energies and its influences.
    This process is called Krishna consciousness….
    Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami and others teach the complete process from start to finish , beginning with understanding the sciences of self realisation,  Bhagavad Gita as it is , explains everything comprehensively

  • Libertines of fanaticism..no …a balance.

    Jun 7th, 2026

    In a battle between the libertines and those who know the sometimes hidden values of theologically based cultures, we may find extremes , however, the safest of the extremes certainly are not in the libertines court .
    Society is full of extremes in every field , for instance the President of Russia recently said , if your gay , fine just live your life in your private way , but don’t teach gay sex to infant and junior children, let them in their own time make their life for themselves.
    Ladies dressing modestly and acting modestly are wonderful aspects in many cultures, ladies parading themselves and putting on show to everyone every feature of their body , is just the external signs of an increasingly sexuilised society. The whole point of theological cultures teach that Divinity is the spiritual enjoyer , in trancendental terms and in trancendental form , sexuilised society teaches the exact opposite. Those driving modern cultures are full of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis. They are taught as fact based sciences. So fighting against the sophisticated animals, ie the libertine atheistic leaders is needed , as much as fighting against fanaticism that is portrayed as authentic theological teachings , where progressive steps are not taught , rather one step or out .

    Heaven or Hell….the Vedas say there are many middle ways

  • The human has limits in their understandings , facing reality means facing the inconceivable

    Jun 7th, 2026

    Professor Albert Einstein, along with many other professors particularly in the fields of physics, have very great contemplative and thinking powers . They are able to construct abstract ideas and apply their intelligence in ways far, exceeding 95% of the population . However, they , in their intelligent musings , will admit  they are gathering a few grains of sand in the vast “desert ” of the inconceivable nature of even the microbial world what to speak of universal events .Universes where Prof Lisa Randall engages in the studies of the multidimensional universes , her ” brane theory ” as in membranes of existence where one dimension is unaware of another .

    Can we ever imagine a microbe understanding Einstein,  microbes are intelligent in their ways , see below .

    Krishna manifests billions of universes,  He also manifests the spiritual kingdoms . Each planet in the spiritual realm is millions of times bigger than our sun , there are millions of such Vaikuntha planets .  However, they all fit within the 17-mile track of land called Vrndavana,  Goloka Vrndavana, the unlimited spiritual world . Although unlimited, it can be limited to 17 miles . Krishna or God Himself,  in his youthful form, appears limited in His form , but  when His mother looked into His mouth , she saw the whole of existence in one place . Arjuna on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra saw the universal form of Visnu , the whole of material creation in one place .The Vedas records the unlimited dimensions , but Sukadeva Goswami admits he can know something of the unlimited.  The limited can know something of the unlimited, but the unlimited Himself does not know the extent of His unlimited existence.

    So facing reality means facing the inconceivable.If you can do that , that faith in the unlimited can take you to the realms of the unlimited where love and beauty predominate , and majesty is left behind .

    This is the microbial world below .

    “The field of microbial intelligence (or bacterial cognition) proves that single-celled organisms are not just passive bags of chemical reactions. While they lack a brain or nervous system, they process information, calculate risks, and make autonomous choices. [1, 2]

    Here is how microbes evaluate data and make specific decisions in laboratory settings.

    1. Decision-Making Mechanisms

    Microbes navigate their world using an advanced biological communication network. [1]

    • Chemical Networks: Protein path systems act like biological computer circuits.
    • Signal Integration: Cells weigh multiple sensory inputs before changing direction.
    • Memory Storage: Microbes alter their internal state to remember past stimuli for hours.
    • Bio-Electricity: Bacterial communities use electrical voltage spikes to pass data quickly. [1, 2, 3, 4]

    2. Types of Choices Microbes Make

    In controlled lab environments, researchers observe microbes making distinct, calculated choices. [1]

    • Navigating Mazes: Slime molds (Physarum polycephalum) find the shortest path to food.
    • Diet Selection: Bacteria analyze food options and choose high-energy sugars first.
    • Risk Management: Cells delay or skip replication if environmental stress is too high.
    • Altruistic Sacrifice: Individual bacteria die off during starvation to save the colony. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    3. Collective Intelligence (Quorum Sensing)

    Microbes communicate using chemical words to make democratic, group-level decisions. [1, 2]

    • Counting Heads: Microbes release molecules to count their local population density.
    • Voting Systems: They wait until a specific population threshold (a quorum) is reached.
    • Coordinated Actions: The group launches a synchronized attack or builds a protective biofilm. “

  • Looking out ..

    Jun 6th, 2026

    As you look out and view the world and feel thoughts in numerous ways , numerous living entities within every species of life is doing the same, its unscientific hodge podge or theological hodge podge to seperate our experiences with the experiences of the living beings within the varied species .The self-evident truth of consciousness within all beings is literally that , self-evident. Anybody taking someone’s right to look out at the world for any whimsical reasons , or subjectively contrived conveniences , like to eat flesh because, ” I like the taste “, or “its essential for living and health “, or “these creatures are not like us , they are not conscious in real terms” , such calculations are not at all valid theologically or scientifically. Such decisions will come back to haunt us in the responsive universe, “thou shall not kill ” is a law set in stone .
    The truth of consciousness and the scientific understanding of it is taught by those who understand and realise dualism. Two energies matter and consciousness are at work, what is consciousness, the Vedas says it is the symptoms of the soul .The soul is eternal. The body dies around it .

    Much more on consciousness soon .

  • Food for all Vegetarian meals for the vulnerable homeless and poor .

    Jun 6th, 2026

    The food for all team continues its work of  tirelessly feeding ever increasing numbers of homeless  persons, as well as bringing them all  personally information and literature that brings  education about mindfulness . We put everyone in touch with persons and agencies that can help with metal health and  rehabilitation programmes.  Housing the homeless is a big feature of our work and making the right  connections between the homeless and the right persons from local agencies that can  help them is important to us ..Our emphasis is also  increasingly  targeted  to eliminate holiday hunger , that of the poorest children experience without school meals during holiday times . We regularly provide food parcels to poor families during school terms to help make ends meet and especially during schools out .
    Food rescue charity the Felix Project predicts that up to 645,000 children in the UK will  experience ‘holiday hunger’ this year with 68% of teachers worrying that at least one of their class will go hungry because parents cannot afford food.

    Homelessness

    The latest official statistics show  households contacted their local authority for support after being threatened with homelessness or losing their home is up more than 10% in a year.  Homeless is  increasing. There are not enough social housing units . The number of households with children in temporary accommodation rose annually by 15.1% to 78,420. The total number of children living in temporary accommodation has now reached 159,830

    FOOD FOR ALL KNOW OF THESE PROBLEMS AND ARE CONSTANTLY REACTING IN PRACTICLE WAYS PROVIDING HOT MEALS AND FOOD PARCELS.
    We also understand the specific needs of a lot of homeless persons and assist them to contact local agencies..
    While cognitive impairment is a significant issue within the homeless population, it’s estimated that only 30-40% of homeless adults have cognitive impairments, including those with intellectual disabilities. Research indicates that cognitive impairments are over-represented in homeless populations, but it’s not in the majority of cases. 

    We are presenting our activities and very much hoping for your support ..

  • To one who knows , everything is known , the self explaining universe.

    Jun 6th, 2026

    The universe explains itself in many many ways, if one is ready to understand . Those who have taken the lessons and understood them well can bring further clarification to others who have not yet understood . The complexities of the universal order seem incalculable, but still, everything can become clear . Both socially, scientifically, philosophically, and theologically, everything can be clearly understood . There is a set working plan in action, and the original plan maker knows all the details and is monitoring everything . Everything is happening under his supervision,  including the responses to actions that go against the universal order .
    Once one thing is known, everything becomes known . If one scientifically understands Divinity, everything is clear , thus, Einstein said, ” religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame”
    The cause of all causes and the systematic processes of creation maintenance and temporary destruction within the cyclic cycles of eternal time are described in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary of the Vedanta Sutras . The Sutras are precisely stated truths that can be elaborated upon by pure representatives of Divinity who have seen the truth .
    Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has presented the Srimad Bhagavatam to the Western audiences , many many acaryas have commented on this great work , it is in everyones interests to read and study the Bhagavatam as a regular daily function

  • Inconceivably manifested

    Jun 6th, 2026


    The expression “Time immemorial” is key to understanding spiritual truths regarding the living beings and God . From the eternal comes the eternal , one could say.
    Radha Krishna pranaya
    Radha Krishna were one they became two . These transcendental concepts have been written on and discussed by our acaryas.  Srila Prabhupada himself, and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and especially Srila Jiva Goswami of how to calculate the impossible that’s made possible..

    Prabhupda..

    “That means we all individual beings, we are individual constitutionally. God is the father or creator or whatever, or the source of all life, or source of our existence. Whatever you like, you can say. So we have…, we have been created in that way. Eko bahu syāma. God has become many. This is also version of the Vedas that many, all these many, we are also god. Just like the fire diffuses its sparks. The sparks coming out of the fire, it is the…, they are also part and parcel of the fire. Similarly we, we are all parts and parcels of the Supreme.

    Now, He wanted to become many. He wanted to become many, so He has become many, and we are that many. So we are not different from God. We are not different from God, but because He wanted to become many, so we have become many. Now, thing is, when God wanted to become many, there must be some purpose behind this. Otherwise, why did He like to become many? He was one, one without second. That’s all right. But why did He become many? So that is a question, one must like to put, that “Why God became many?”

    So that is, that answer is that because God is sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha [Bs 5.1],

    [Kṛṣṇa who is known as Govinda is the Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes.]

    He’s all-pleasure—therefore, without many, there is no pleasure. Just like here I sit down the whole day alone, but I become more active and more pleasing when you come. Whenever we want to enjoy some pleasure, pleasure is not enjoyed alone. Pleasure is enjoyed with many. Now God is by nature… He’s ānandamayo ‘bhyāsāt [Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12].”

    Love and attraction drives the Jiva ,nothing else , it is inherently situated in the soul, and we either love Krishna directly, the correct personality to repose love , or if due to love being voluntary, we have not yet found our spontaneous attraction for Krishna . In that case , we became attracted to Krishna in a different way , His external energies , until such time  that we learn of the origins of everything , namely,  the all attractive Krishna, sometimes, even in this life you have to learn to love , and give up independence , non appreciation or envy

    The over emphasis of oneness or the over emphasis of difference is incorrect tattva ..Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has discussed that point . Thus Mahāprabhu has rounded everything of with the inconceivably and simultaneously oneness and difference between the jiva and Divinity.
    And time immemorial is key to understand, we cannot calculate a time when the one becomes many , but from the eternal comes the eternal .

  • Keep it up Greta .

    Jun 5th, 2026

    Keep it up Greta

    Any devotees  of Vedic thinkers , thinking our industries, plastic and carbon and petrol industries , are having absolutely no effects on the planets atmosphere, and that somehow the commercially driven world of throw away consumerism, that the global conglomerates are so very fond of , conglomerates who are directly or indirectly creating wars to create divisions within countries , so they can aquire precious minerals or metals for further industrial enterprises, have their sciences correct , are a little out of balance . Conglomerates employ scientific members to produce slanted subjective speculations that favour a particular veiw point .
    Common sense should tell us that excess , whichever way you look at it is harmful..
    Saying things like the demigods are controlling the weather , so we can pump poison into the atmosphere and there will be no consequences is too extreme….its just not the atmosphere or weather, the symbiotic nature of the planet and its creatures has been and is being slowly eradicated .Do you hear the dawn chorus, nothing like it was 30 or 40 years ago ..That Greta heavily chastised leaders who allow the conglomerates to do what the Hell they like ,is in keeping with Vedic standpoints ….she is a taking a stance against demons , she is to be admired .

    I can well imagine the founder Acarya of ISKCON being very impressed by her spirit of chastising the demons ..Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita clearly tells us about the work of demons who want to destroy the world.

  • God has not produced robots..

    Jun 5th, 2026

    Krishna knows everything?…there is no Robotic rasa

    The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have clearly explained that an over emphasis on the oneness of the living being with God or an over emphasis on a difference  from God  is incorrect.
    Thus, simultaneously and inconceivably, oneness and difference is the correct tattva , or understanding,  the progressive steps to this tattva are taught by Madhava ,Ramanuja, Visnu Swami , and Nimbarka acaryas.
    The great scholar Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva Sandarbha says God makes the impossible possible. Thus, simultaneously being one and different from God should be understood.

    When we exhibit our inherant nature and volunteer our love to  God, this is an exhibition of the part and parcel of God , who is different from God , uniting in love with God in a “oneness of love  ” As such, there is no robotic rasa, love is not a  pretence,  and God does not exactly know when or how deeply our exhibition of love will occur. We are not machine like robots . As God is individual, so are we , we have tiny independence, and God has unlimited independence.  Love is volunteered, and love for the unlimited has an unlimited capacity to increase, and the ever increasing ocean of blissful life is described by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana.
    The clue is ..
    Prabhupada says we are not dead stones ..
    The high court judge knows the destination of the criminal.
    Do you think the high court judge knows the destination of an honest man ?

    Further, to understand the principles of Bhakti in conditioned life , you have to learn to love ..
    Why some spirit souls  spontaneously loved Krishna in His various forms and why some didn’t initially…is the exhibition of freewill , of who or what we love ….We , being the expansions of Balarama or Mula Sankarsan , some of the expanded beings ,  it appears , due to an  independent spirit , were transferred to Mahavisnu, from the Tatastha regions or Brahman . This was because they could not feel that pure spontaneous love immediately. The transportational glance from the Bramhajyoti into matter takes place ,  where  the living beings attempt to find  loving relationships . It is never found in fullness. Only Divinity can provide it .

    Thus, here we are , still searching.

    Love is always voluntary..
    When you choose to  love God  is your free will , the potential for love is inherant but sometimes misplaced .
    Love is also ever expanding, so it’s  newer and newer in quality.
    Krishna does not know exactly when we will fully love him or how it will feel in terms of intensity….that’s our choice of freedom.

    As we previously noted, Prabhupada said ..
    ” We are not dead stones,”
    As a high court judge knows the destination of the criminal . Similarly, God knows how conditioned nature responds , His energies bind the conditioned souls. i.e.,within the determinism of the responsive universe , karmic synchronicities. Thus, in conditioned life, God knows everything of our life and choices  and how exactly we are conditioned .
    But Narada Muni is free to wonder anywhere because pure love is always trusted ….and exhibited freely and unpredictability.
    The more we learn to love God, the more freedom and unpredictability of our loves emotions , and they are expressed without God knowing how they exactly will be ..that brings the highest pleasure to God .
    We are not predicable downloads of God . There is no robotic rasa .

    In the higher realms of Rasa, one can be at one with the residents of Vraja.( pranaya) and the unpredictability becomes even more unpredictable , such as the crooked path of Parikiya rasa . The union and separation of love are described by our acaryas. Directed by the assistants of the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani, one can be graced and enter into some understanding of this pranaya oneness of love .
    The more conditioned a person is, the more predictable they become,  its a forgone conclusion how a sex , drug, or drink addict will act .

  • The world of music

    Jun 5th, 2026

    Certainly, music and the arts as a whole have a crossover point . The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas use music as do the Christians , the Islamic faiths, and the Jewish faith.
    Arts of all kinds are used to tell of the spiritual dimensions and the divine varigatedness of spiritual relationships and their beauty, which far exceed the self-centred relationships of this world. Every faith has allowances and restrictions within the world of art , art is a perfect tool for spiritual connections or it can hopelessly and helplessly bind one to a temporarily manifested world where the ignorant strongly identify with the sensual world centred around unrestricted sex .

    Only an unthinking fanatic would want to ban music and singing as a form of glorification of God , but certainly there are prohibitions , music should be solely a glorification of God and the progressive cultures He teaches , it should not be music that promotes oneself in any way or any enjoyments in a temporarily manifested world based on sensual relationship that come and go .

    This is said in Islamic faith , both Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had some restrictions on how music and the arts are to be conducted. Before the Renaissance, everything in cultures and educational matters was solely meant for Divinity in music,  arts,  sciences,  social sciences, and political science. There is a careful balance to be struck .

    “The status of music in Islam is a subject of extensive debate among scholars, and there is no single consensus. Different schools of thought interpret the Quran and Hadith in varying ways, leading to three main perspectives.1. The Prohibitive View (Haram)Many classical and conservative scholars consider music and musical instruments to be forbidden (haram).Evidence: They cite Hadiths (recorded sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) that condemn instruments.Quranic Interpretation: Verses such as Surah Luqman (31:6) that warn against “idle talk” (lahwal-hadith) are interpreted by some early commentators as references to singing and music.Reasoning: The belief that music distracts from the remembrance of God, encourages heedlessness, and can lead to sinful environments.2. The Permissible View (Halal)Other scholars argue that music is generally permissible, provided the content does not promote immorality or lead to the neglect of religious duties.Evidence: “
    The Vedas and the Sankirtana movements are full of appropriate music , as is the case with most faiths .
